Xin Mang was right. In a place like this where you are unfamiliar with everyone, it would be most efficient to find a familiar guide.
But Yang Yu felt that if he agreed to her request so readily, it would be like she was doing him a big favor.
Favors are the hardest thing to repay in this world.
Considering the possible developments in the future, Yang Yu didn't want to cancel his plan just to repay a favor.
So, I can only pretend to be reluctant and act as if I can do it without you.
He didn't want to struggle between repaying the favor or continuing with his plan.
If you borrow favors, you still have to repay them, but you still have to consider the situation.
Yang Yu will not give in on important matters.
Act like you are disgusted. At least when others are rejected, they will think that is just the way he is and will not feel too much resentment.
But it seems that Xin Mang is not someone who would use favors to ask for help. She simply likes to help others.
On the way to the Blood Lion Mansion, Xin Mang helped the old lady cross the road five times. Other things included but were not limited to helping lost children find their mothers and rescuing kittens trapped in trees several times, which delayed him a lot of time along the way.
Yang Yu almost suspected that if it weren't for Xin Mang, he and Lotkar would have already arrived at the Blood Lion Clan's mansion.
Finally, night fell through the last street, and Yang Yu and his companions arrived at the mansion of the Blood Lion clan.
Two huge lion statues stand in front of the magnificent red wooden door, with their heads raised and their mouths wide open roaring, looking extremely majestic.
Xin Mang knocked gently on the red wooden door, which made a loud bang and a black crack appeared. On the other side of the crack, a pair of eyes like a feline staring at its prey emitted a sharp light.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
An old voice came from the other side of the door. No joy, anger, sorrow or happiness could be heard in it, but it was enough to make people feel fear.
"It's me, Grandpa Tonghe. I'm Xin Mang, the captain of the adventure group [Colorful Hundred Flowers]. I came here because there's a man who wants to learn the Blood Lion's martial arts, and I brought him here."
Xin Mang gave his name, and the old voice from the other side of the door responded:
"It's really rare. Now, there are people who come for this purpose. All right, I'll go report to the head of the family, you wait outside the door for a while."
After saying that, the gap in the wooden door closed completely, leaving only Yang Yu and his group waiting outside.
Xin Mang came close to Yang Yu and whispered:
"But I've already told you that you must not do anything extreme when facing the Blood Lion Clan. Even if you are rejected in the end, you must leave calmly."
"You just said it with such confidence, but you weakened before you even started."
“You can learn it in a short time.
I can only recommend it to you now, whether you can learn it depends on your ability.
I'm just reminding you, if you can't learn, don't get angry and helpless."
Xin Mang folded his arms in dissatisfaction.
“The Blood Lion Clan hates people who give up halfway the most. No matter what the reason, if you stop practicing halfway, you will never have the chance to receive their teachings again.
I must remind you of this.”
"I won't give up so easily. You might as well say something more practical than this."
Yang Yu naturally transitioned the topic.
"Are you familiar with the Blood Lions' fighting style? If you want to learn skills from them, what should you pay attention to? Are there any tests or the like?"
"Before the war, the Blood Lions operated a gym. Most skills can be learned there. As far as I know, there are very few skills that cannot be learned or passed on.
However, not everyone can enter the gym to practice. It depends on your qualifications. Someone will test you. "
Xin Mang replied with a hint of nostalgia,
"As for the blood lion's attack mode, three words can be used to describe it: fast, accurate, and ruthless. A moment of slackness can instantly determine the outcome.
When fighting against them, I think having no strategy is the best strategy. Instead of worrying about how to defeat them, it is better to see how they fight. This way, you can learn a lot. "
Faced with Xin Mang's optimistic suggestion, Yang Yu frowned slightly. He could be fast, accurate and ruthless as long as his attribute values were high enough.
What is important is how the Blood Lions achieve the three words "fast, accurate and ruthless", what techniques they will use, what kind of skill connections they will use, and whether they have any special abilities.
Yang Yu came here to learn skills.
In the game, if you want to learn special skills, the conditions are different. Some require running around to collect materials, some require taking on challenges, and some require completing specific tasks and finding specific NPCs.
Previously, Yang Yu needed to obtain a lot of precious materials to obtain the [Ghost Shadow Array] for Bai Jin. Fortunately, Yang Yu had plenty of money at that time, and he solved the problem easily with his money ability without having to run all over the map.
Judging from Xin Mang’s description, if he wants to acquire skills from the Blood Lion, he has to let the Blood Lion see if he is qualified.
As for testing whether a person is qualified to learn skills, the method used is indeed fighting.
However, most battles will become a natural threshold to screen out unqualified players.
You can only know how high the threshold of the Blood Lion is by actually touching it.
Not long after, the huge red wooden door made another rumbling sound, but this time, the red wooden door did not crack, but the entire door was wide open, as if welcoming Yang Yu and the others.
A thin old man stood at the door, hunched over, less than 1.5 meters tall, leaning on a crooked black cane, with yellow mane extending from the top of his head and around his neck, slightly gray due to old age.
He squinted his eyes, like a lion in his twilight years. His might was gone, but he was still captivating.
Opening the panel, Yang Yu confirmed that the old man in front of him was the Tonghe grandpa Xin Mang had just called. Yang Yu couldn't imagine that such an old man could have such a look just now, but the old man's voice again made Yang Yu have to accept it.
"The master of the house allows you to enter. If you want to learn martial arts, please come in and discuss in detail."
"Thank you, Grandpa Tonghe."
Thanks to Grandpa Tonghe for this convenience, Xinmang walked into the Blood Lion's mansion as if he was walking into his own backyard.
Yang Yu patted Lothcar's shoulder, signaling him not to show any hostility. Then, under the old man's gaze, they walked into the Blood Lion's mansion together.
After Yang Yu and his friends walked in, Grandpa Tonghe slowly closed the heavy door, walked to the front of them as if nothing had happened, and led the way for them.
Looking inside the Blood Lion Mansion, one could see a vast wilderness.
There were straight tree trunks standing in the field, and big red lanterns hanging on the trees, lighting up the field shrouded in darkness.
Just looking at the magnificent gate outside, it is hard to imagine that the inside would look like this.
What kind of financial resources and power are needed to be able to build such a wilderness on the land of Baihua City
